Controversial ‘Tarry Lighthouse’ project tabled in Port Chester

A proposal to build a large apartment building with retail space on the ground floor in Port Chester, N.Y., near the Greenwich border was tabled by the village’s Zoning Board of Appeals this week. The matter was not discussed by the board and was put off for another hearing.

Under the plan by developer David Mann, a seven-story structure with 242 apartment units would be built on the site of the now-closed Tarry Lodge, a once popular restaurant.

The proposed development has already gone through a number of reviews by the zoning board.

The project — dubbed the “Tarry Lighthouse” — would include retail space as well as housing.

Residents in the Byram section of Greenwich, as well as a number of Port Chester residents, have expressed concerns about the heavy traffic congestion that they say would result in the area from the project.

The board met Thursday via teleconferencing. The zoning board has been seeking additional information on traffic patterns and volume related to the project.
